This eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea Gutatta (or Romalea microptera) displays the intricate, colorful, and quite lovely patterns of its species while peering out from its perch on a grass spear.These grasshoppers are a mixture of yellow, orange and black with a large body and thin legs. The average adult is about four inches long. The wings are usually yellow or orange with black dots. The eastern lubber has a toxic substance that can make potential predators violently ill should they eat one of the grasshoppers. Their bright colors serve as a warning for potential predators to stay away. The eastern lubber grasshopper is found throughout the south-central United States, including Florida, where this one was found.

Although much of my career had been in editing and writing, I have been delighted for some time to concentrate on both photography and artistic creations based on photography. Through this medium I thoroughly enjoy the world, from city to suburb to country, from my roots in the US Midwest to fascinating Florida, to Ohio, where I now live. My artistic interests are eclectic. Much engages me. I hope my art will please and engage you as well.
